What do you guys use for gaming mice / mousepads?

I'm rocking a G400 right now with a fairly no name mousepad and I'm finding it gets a bit sticky when trying to site something in BF3 or use any kind of precision dragging in SC2 and I feel like I should fix it.

I am still using an Everglide pad that I won at a LAN about ten years ago. The surface has nearly been worn smooth in the center... Not sure if its still any good or I am just so used to it the inconsistent surface it no longer bothers me. I am using a G400 also.

Yeah I'm not 100% it's the mousepad, or the mouse, or me just getting Parkinsons in secret but I find occasionally the mouse sticks or I have to move a bit harder than normal and then I overshoot whatever I'm trying to do.

I use a Logitech iFeel mouse with a generic $3 black felt mouse pad. The thing is pleasantly weighted, and about the only fault it has is that nothing has supported the force feedback for the past decade. When games did use it though, it was awesome!

Logitech Performance MX on a thin neoprene steelseries mousemat (it's quieter and doesn't mark the wooden desk). What I use is whatever I use for everything else. Does anyone really think their gaming is hindered by a modern wireless connection or any reasonable flat surface?

G500 on an IKEA Jerker. I haven't used a mousing surface in years, but I might be persuaded to start again if they're at all helpful. I used to use the oversized pads that were noted earlier, since they're cheap to replace every 6 mos. or so, but I've never been happy with anything else.

Back in the olden days, the benefit to the oversized pads was being able to use it to stabilize a joystick or throttle and still retain some mousing room. Now I don't really use those peripherals anymore.

I've been using MX518/G5/G500 mice for a long time. The shape is the same between them and I like it. I just bought a G700 yesterday and have yet to use it for more than 2 min, but it's my first wireless gaming mouse. My setup is such that the wire was getting annoying, so I hope it works well. It's comfortable enough, and there are a few more buttons than I'm used to.

What!? Are you telling me that special crystal mousepad I spent $350 on doesn't work!? They said it "attenuates the emission of the laser resulting in faster response between the reflection point and the imaging sensor". I swear it works!!!

It may not matter to you. A 1993 logitech mouse certainly is not a 2013 logitech mouse. Mousepads vastly vary in surface speed and quality. It's not even expensive to get good stuff, I have a G5 mouse ($50 at the time), I use a C4 NGEN mouse pad ($20) and I use PTFE tape ($8 for years of tape.)This combination gives a slickness and effortless speed that nothing else I have seen matches. I enjoy it tremendously. The mouse is now about 4 years old, the pad 2, the surface is incredibly stable. My kids both have used it and were astonished, so it is indeed noticeable. I'm sorry but you have no clue.

For FPS, I use a Cyborg R.A.T 9. I like the size and its click wheel does not rotate when I click the wheel (middle mouse is my "backwards"). It doesn't seem to be a laser mouse, though, as it has issues when my GlaDOS mouse pad gets dirty.

For MMO, I use a Naga Epic.

I would like a new mouse pad, but it needs to be a tad smaller than the offerings out there today. Looking for something 12" x 10".

My mousing surface at home is a wooden desk with vinyl/cloth cover (I replaced the torn vinyl/cloth cover in 1994 or so, it's a great desk).

Mousepads just get in the way, and modern mice work fine without special surfaces to move on.

My mousing surface at work is a 2007 Page-a-Day diary, because I'm so used to it (at work), when I have the mouse flat on the desk, it feels wonky and wrong. The 2007 diary was snaffled when the 2002 page-a-day-diary I was using started to look a little ragged in 2009 or so.
